Most of the products we manufacture consist of a hemp concentrate (extract or distillate) combined with a carrier oil (and occasionally other ingredients). All CBD/cannabinoid Products must include (at a minimum) Potency lab test upon receipt at our warehouse, and per cGmp regulations, we are now required to pull 10ml
for a full panel test (Potency, Microbial, Heavy metals, Residual and Pesticides) off every batch that is sent in and has $478.00 fee for each batch. We will pull another 10ml sample from each batch for retainage.
Customers have three general options for how they choose to source and provide these raw materials:
Our standard softgel (size 8 oval; 0.5 ml fill volume). While the theoretical yield per gallon is 7,570 softgels, we factor in a 7% production loss, giving an expected yield of 7,000 softgels per gallon. The minimum order quantity for Bovine encapsulation is 4 gallons (Vegan 6-gallon minimum), which will yield approximately 28,000 softgels.
The production cost is based on the total run volume per the quantities below: (we now offer a 1ml and a .25ml bovine Softgel. Please call for more information.) :

Our guaranteed lead time is 6 weeks from the date we receive your raw materials (extract to be formulated, pre-mix formula, customer supplied bottles, caps, droppers and labels, if needed) with required certificate of analysis on all material to be encapsulated or bottled, and any supplies provided by customer (bottles, caps and labels). Failure to provide all required materials will increase turnaround time. Production will not start until a full-panel test from our 3rd Party testing facility is received and approved by customer. No finished products will be released until we receive test results from the third-party laboratories we contract with (this typically takes 5-7 business days).
Softgel Co. requires a 50% down payment (based on estimate or invoice) for all customers to begin a production order. Final Payment is due before an order will be shipped!

The customer is responsible for all shipping costs (we can ship on your FedEx, UPS or LTL account). If customer wants insurance for shipping, please add it when you set up your shipment.
NOTE: Customers must pay in advance for any house extract to be used in production.

Under no circumstances should you send or wire payment to an entity other than Softgel Co. Please contact us immediately if you receive a request to do so.
